OPINION IS UNANIMOUS
Albert B. Arbaugh, attorney for

was unanimous.
A number of objections were filed

SUNDAY FOOTBALL
Greensburg Merchants Will Play the I
Ellet Team On Oct. 18. I
Police Will Arrest Any Person
Guilty of Defacing or Destroy-.
, ing Property or Annoying
Neighbors Merely Because
This Is Halloween Season.
MARDI GRAS IS FOR ALL
The police of North Canton want
the public to have "one bang-up glorious time on Halloween," and a committee belonging to the Community
Building is working to that end, as
announced in The Sun last week.
But—"No 'hick town stuff." And
that comes direct to The Sun from
Police Marshal Ray Bachtel.
Have Displayed Sense
"Fbr years past we have had little
or no trouble in North Canton as Halloween approaches," said the Marshal,
"and on the big night everything went
off in fine style. The people were satisfied, and so were the police, but this
year certain of the younger people,
show a disposition to kick over the
traces, and already are throwing corn
and smashing pumpkins and cabbages
on the sidewalks in the residential
section.
Will Arrest Violators
"That kind of nonsense must stop,,
and the police department is prepared
to arrest all persons guilty of interfering with property or littering the
streets with rubbish.
"The Community Building- is going
to sponsor a real honest-to-goodness
night of sport for the public on Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31. I repeat,
we will deal sternly with anyone indulging in hick town stuff. Nortli
Canton residents cannot be made ridiculous or put to inconvenience just to
gratify the silly whim of a few boys,"
said the Marshal.
TAXPAYERS TAKE ACTION
Five avowed candidates have entered the field for Council in North Canton. They are: A. E. Baab, John B.
Smith, James H. Mansfield, Orrin F.
Gill, Robert K. Derry. '
The first three men filed their petitions at the proper time several
weeks ago. But there was a vacancy
of three, and this worried a number
of taxpayers who were afraid that unless prompt action was taken the
election would become a farce. And
playboy stull', be it remembered, is
an expensive luxury for any community to indulge in.
Taxpayers Get Busy
To straighten the question out, a
number of taxpayers called on Mr.
Gill and Mr. Derry and urged them to
become candidates. After giving the
subject much consideration they decided to enter the contest.
; Orrin F. Gill
The west side of South Main has
no one in Council, although at the
last election Orrin Gill, who resides
on Cole avenue, came within a few
votes of being elected. This year his
friends . feel confident that he , will
make the grade.
Orrin Gill is a quiet, intelligent
young man witli a wife and children.
He owns the house he lives in, and he
is always willing to do his share in
community activities when called
upon.
Robert K. Derry
" Robert K. Derry resides on the west
side bf North Canton in the section
opened a few years ago. He is in
business in Canton and is a-clean-cut
young man of engaging personality.
Leo Braucher
Leo Braucher, president of the
present Council, did not file. His work
as a Councilman has attracted much
favorable notice and citizens in all
parts of the town are urging him to
run this year. Why not write his
name' on the ballot?
The names of Gill, Bi'aucher and
Derry must be written on. the ballot
on election day and an X placed in
front of each name.

Greensburg that the Merchants of

Ellet Merchants have not been scored
on this -season. Last year Greensburg defeated Ellet, 19 to 12.

News Notes and Personals
Mr. and Mrs. Emmon Clouser of
South Main street will move this week
tp 401 McKinley avenue.
North Canton's Fire Chief, Joseph
Smith, is noted fpr his speed in getting to the sc6S*i of a conflagration
with his capable smoke-eaters, but it
. is not every day he is able to get there
before the fire even starts, as was the
case on Friday.
As a part of the fire prevention
week program of Chief Smith, he arranged a demonstration, first for the
public schools then for tlie St. Paul's
parochial school, on the operation of
the local fire fighting and alarm system.
Pupils Escape Iri Good Order
Preceding this, fire drills were held
in the grade and high school build
ings. The 800 pupils, of the former
"escaped" in perfect order from their
building in one minute and 15 seconds;
the 300 odd from the latter were outside in a correspondingly short time.
At the second demonstration, 1GG
pupils were cleared from the parochial
school building in 35 seconds.
After the grade and high school
buildings had been emptied, the pupils were assembled, with the help of
Superintendent of Schools T. G. Denton and his teachers, iri a semi-circle
| about a large pile of old boxes and
I barrels which had been heaped in the
j yard.
I Chief Teaches^ a Lesson
' Believing in graphic lessons to drive
! home fire prevention to the school pupils, Chief Smith called on Lowell
Traxler, high school junior, to set fire
to the mass of flimsy wood. When he
failed to get results with the first few
matches, Lowell was told to pour
kerosene on the spot which he had
been trying to light.
In this he was prevented, however,
when Chief Smith took him by the
arm, then delivered a severe lecture to
him- as an example to the other pupils that kerosene or gasoline should
never be used to make fire material
ignite more quickly. Promicuous carrying and careless use of matches was
denounced as a dangerous habit.
Hand Extinguishers
After this, the fire was lighted in
earnest and the various pieces of
chemical equipment on the engine,

This service marked the entry of
Mr. Beck upon his third year with
the church here and the congregation
presented to the pastor and his gracious wife a basket of beautiful flowers.
One of the pleasing events of the
morning' was the presentation of a
basket containing a large number of
roses, topped with a silk bow, from
the congregation of The Community

After a selection by the orchestra,

Russell Strausser, a bright young

lesson, "Paul In Philippi." "Paul and
Silas were scourged and thrown into,

their enthusiasm for the teachings of
Jesus Christ."
Mr. Strausser discussed the evils
of the world as he sees them and asserted that we live in a time of unemployment.
"One of the saddest things on earth
is to see men seeking work in vain.

rates will be shown on future bills,
and each subscriber ail'ected will be
personally contacted and these
changes explained," said Mr. Boggins.
The changes, authorized last week
by the Public Utilities Commission,
will mean a yearly saving of .$1,800

;the status of service for subscribers
in several areas of the North Cantoii

To Extend Base Rate Area
The base rate area, within which

SUNDAY FOOTBALL
Greensburg Merchants Will Play the I
Ellet Team On Oct. 18. I
Police Will Arrest Any Person
Guilty of Defacing or Destroy-.
, ing Property or Annoying
Neighbors Merely Because
This Is Halloween Season.
MARDI GRAS IS FOR ALL
The police of North Canton want
the public to have "one bang-up glorious time on Halloween," and a committee belonging to the Community
Building is working to that end, as
announced in The Sun last week.
But—"No 'hick town stuff." And
that comes direct to The Sun from
Police Marshal Ray Bachtel.
Have Displayed Sense
"Fbr years past we have had little
or no trouble in North Canton as Halloween approaches," said the Marshal,
"and on the big night everything went
off in fine style. The people were satisfied, and so were the police, but this
year certain of the younger people,
show a disposition to kick over the
traces, and already are throwing corn
and smashing pumpkins and cabbages
on the sidewalks in the residential
section.
Will Arrest Violators
"That kind of nonsense must stop,,
and the police department is prepared
to arrest all persons guilty of interfering with property or littering the
streets with rubbish.
"The Community Building- is going
to sponsor a real honest-to-goodness
night of sport for the public on Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31. I repeat,
we will deal sternly with anyone indulging in hick town stuff. Nortli
Canton residents cannot be made ridiculous or put to inconvenience just to
gratify the silly whim of a few boys,"
said the Marshal.
TAXPAYERS TAKE ACTION
Five avowed candidates have entered the field for Council in North Canton. They are: A. E. Baab, John B.
Smith, James H. Mansfield, Orrin F.
Gill, Robert K. Derry. '
The first three men filed their petitions at the proper time several
weeks ago. But there was a vacancy
of three, and this worried a number
of taxpayers who were afraid that unless prompt action was taken the
election would become a farce. And
playboy stull', be it remembered, is
an expensive luxury for any community to indulge in.
Taxpayers Get Busy
To straighten the question out, a
number of taxpayers called on Mr.
Gill and Mr. Derry and urged them to
become candidates. After giving the
subject much consideration they decided to enter the contest.
; Orrin F. Gill
The west side of South Main has
no one in Council, although at the
last election Orrin Gill, who resides
on Cole avenue, came within a few
votes of being elected. This year his
friends . feel confident that he , will
make the grade.
Orrin Gill is a quiet, intelligent
young man witli a wife and children.
He owns the house he lives in, and he
is always willing to do his share in
community activities when called
upon.
Robert K. Derry
" Robert K. Derry resides on the west
side bf North Canton in the section
opened a few years ago. He is in
business in Canton and is a-clean-cut
young man of engaging personality.
Leo Braucher
Leo Braucher, president of the
present Council, did not file. His work
as a Councilman has attracted much
favorable notice and citizens in all
parts of the town are urging him to
run this year. Why not write his
name' on the ballot?
The names of Gill, Bi'aucher and
Derry must be written on. the ballot
on election day and an X placed in
front of each name.
WOMENYOTERS
And Candidates For Office Hear Political Subjects Discussed At
Noon Today.
Word comes" to The Sun from
Greensburg that the Merchants of
that place, as the football team is
known, will be busy all week practicing in order to trim the Ellet squad
on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 on Oberlin field, Greensburg.
This season so far the Merchants
have won one game and tied two. The
Ellet Merchants have not been scored
on this -season. Last year Greensburg defeated Ellet, 19 to 12.
The game on Sunday is.expected to
. draw a record-breaking crowd. The
' Ellet manager lias promised to have

News Notes and Personals
Mr. and Mrs. Emmon Clouser of
South Main street will move this week
tp 401 McKinley avenue.
North Canton's Fire Chief, Joseph
Smith, is noted fpr his speed in getting to the sc6S*i of a conflagration
with his capable smoke-eaters, but it
. is not every day he is able to get there
before the fire even starts, as was the
case on Friday.
As a part of the fire prevention
week program of Chief Smith, he arranged a demonstration, first for the
public schools then for tlie St. Paul's
parochial school, on the operation of
the local fire fighting and alarm system.
Pupils Escape Iri Good Order
Preceding this, fire drills were held
in the grade and high school build
ings. The 800 pupils, of the former
"escaped" in perfect order from their
building in one minute and 15 seconds;
the 300 odd from the latter were outside in a correspondingly short time.
At the second demonstration, 1GG
pupils were cleared from the parochial
school building in 35 seconds.
After the grade and high school
buildings had been emptied, the pupils were assembled, with the help of
Superintendent of Schools T. G. Denton and his teachers, iri a semi-circle
| about a large pile of old boxes and
I barrels which had been heaped in the
j yard.
I Chief Teaches^ a Lesson
' Believing in graphic lessons to drive
! home fire prevention to the school pupils, Chief Smith called on Lowell
Traxler, high school junior, to set fire
to the mass of flimsy wood. When he
failed to get results with the first few
matches, Lowell was told to pour
kerosene on the spot which he had
been trying to light.
In this he was prevented, however,
when Chief Smith took him by the
arm, then delivered a severe lecture to
him- as an example to the other pupils that kerosene or gasoline should
never be used to make fire material
ignite more quickly. Promicuous carrying and careless use of matches was
denounced as a dangerous habit.
Hand Extinguishers
After this, the fire was lighted in
earnest and the various pieces of
chemical equipment on the engine,

Beck, and several former pastors who,
were present.
This service marked the entry of
Mr. Beck upon his third year with
the church here and the congregation
presented to the pastor and his gracious wife a basket of beautiful flowers.
One of the pleasing events of the
morning' was the presentation of a
basket containing a large number of
roses, topped with a silk bow, from
the congregation of The Community
Christian church. (This magnificent
gift attracted great attention.
The entire platform surrounding the
pulpit was simply a "bower of beau-
j tiful plants and flowers."
Russell Strausser Speaks '
After a selection by the orchestra,
under the leadership of Willis Baughman, and hymns by the choir, Russell
D. Shetler offered prayer.
Russell Strausser, a bright young
chap, discussed the Sunday-school
lesson, "Paul In Philippi." "Paul and
Silas were scourged and thrown into,
prison," he said, "but it did not dim
their enthusiasm for the teachings of
Jesus Christ."
Mr. Strausser discussed the evils
of the world as he sees them and asserted that we live in a time of unemployment.
"One of the saddest things on earth
is to see men seeking work in vain.
But in the longer range of vision,
which only begins with the present

of our life with God, we may be sure

The Rev. Dr. H. J. Rohrbaugh, who

according to J. P. Boggins, district
commercial manager, in an interview
with The Sun this Wednesday morning.
"Subscribers will not need to call,
or visit the company's office in connection with these rate changes inasmuch as proper credit and reduced
rates will be shown on future bills,
and each subscriber ail'ected will be
personally contacted and these
changes explained," said Mr. Boggins.
The changes, authorized last week
by the Public Utilities Commission,
will mean a yearly saving of .$1,800
for subscribers affected and will alter
;the status of service for subscribers
in several areas of the North Cantoii
exchange.
To Extend Base Rate Area
The base rate area, within which
subscribers receive city sendee at uniform charges, will be extended to include additional subscribers who are
outside the present area, giving theni
the benefit of the same type of service that i.s furnished throughout North
Canton.
In addition to this extension, a new
suburban rate zone approximately a
mile and a half wide will be established directly outside the new base
rate boundary. In this zone existing
